Four Iconic Residential Buildings in Sunny Isles Beach

City of Sunny Isles Beach

The City of Sunny Isles Beach occupies 1.78 square miles in the northeastern corner of Miami-Dade County, the most populated county in the State of Florida.

With an estimated population of 22.123 people, the City ranks 15th in population amongst the 34 municipalities in the County.

The City is located on a barrier island bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the east and the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway on the west.

The City has been developed primarily for residential purposes and is home from some of the most exclusive and luxurious buildings from Miami and from the country.

History

In 1920, Harvey Baker Graves, a private investor, purchased a 2.26-square-mile (5.9?km2) tract of land for development as a tourist resort. He named it Sunny Isles, the America Riviera.?

When the Haulover bridge was completed in 1925, the area became accessible from Miami Beach, attracting developers who widened streams, dug canals and inlets and created islands and peninsulas for building waterfront properties on Biscayne Bay.

In 1936, Milwaukee malt magnate Kurtis Froedtert bought Sunny Isles. The Sunny Isles Pier was built and soon became a popular destination. Sunny Isles developed slowly until the 1950’s when the first single-family homes were built in the Golden Shores area.?

During the 1950's and 1960's more than 30 motels sprang up along Collins Avenue. Tourists came from all over to vacation in themed motels of exotic design along "Motel Row.

In 1982 the half-mile-long Sunny Isles Pier was designated a historic site. In the early-mid 1980’s.

In 1997, the citizens of the area voted to incorporate as a municipality. Sunny Isles was renamed Sunny Isles Beach. Sunny Isles Beach began major redevelopment during the real estate boom of the early 2000’s with mostly high-rise condominiums and some hotels under construction along the beach side of Collins Avenue (A1A) replacing most of the historic one- and two-story motels along Motel Row.?
